JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION. t
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
oended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Vauder
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S.B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I mast say that for a kidney tonic
in Bright a disease, and as an .alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and -beats anything I
ver tried. J. B. Nelson,

Spokakk, Not. 26. A special from
Ltwiston speaks of the finding of two
bodies drowned on Thursday from the
scow in a se by the government making
improvements of the Snake, river chan
nel. At the time of the disaster it was
anchored off the mouth of dry hollow.
Two men were aboard and eix were in a
skiff alongside thedrill-pipe. . The wati t
runs very swiftly atthis point, and there
were some ugly rapiis. In a twinkling
.he skiff was capsized and the occupants
were floundering in the icy waters of the
river. . Two of the men, named Mohl
and Kuhii, swam aehore, the scow being
only forty or fifty feet .from . the bank,
but the others either could 'not ewimior
were afraid to make the effort. They
clung" to' the capsized boat, aud were
quickly swept down stream. some 300
feet. There they were caught in a whirl
pool and torn away from the boat, and
all four were drowned. vi
The victims weri William Wiggins,
member of a prominent family in Lewis
ton ; E.. W.- Evans, foreman of the scow,
aged 40, who leaves a widow and family
in Ellensburgti ; Harvey Wil iains, from
England, aged 50; Reuben Jfenmeyer,
aged 25, who had been working as
farm-laborer at Lewiston until a few
weeks ago, when be went to work on the
scow. After the men were swept into
the whirlpool . they sank, and none of
them came to the surface. For a min
ute the men on board the scow were
dazed by the "horror of the situation.
Then another skiff was manned and an
effort was made to rescue the victims.
After a chase lor two miles the capsized
boat waa overtaken, hope being enter
tained that some of the men might yet
be clinging to it, but this proved a dis
appointment. It is thought that all of
the victims were swept loose in the first
whirlpool.
MRS. BEZANT'S P1CTCBK4.
A Tbeonoptilxt'a Somewhat Lacld Ex
planation of Gboata. '
From St. James Gazette.
In the course of a lecture which Mrs.
Annie Besant delivered at Milton hall.
Kentishtown. dealing with the subject
of apparitions, she said that wlit
science meant in talking of ether
what the theosophist meant when he
spoke of astral matter, only in the one
case it had been subjected , to experi
ments and was understood, while in the
other case'the experiments were at pres
ent of the' most, elementary . character,
and, although most promising 1 for' the
future they were not yet very. reliable in
the "' explanation, dot certain curio:
and . abnormal phenomena. a Now
they, got a; .number vj of appari
tions which , had this common
characteristic, they were unconscious. t
A person awoke and saw a form : which
said ."nothing and .did "nothing except
stand there. It generally, looked some
what mournful iind disconsolate, and
speedily disappeared. ' This was a . most
unsatisfactory kind of thing, afforded no
explanation of its ' presence, and there
was nothing to show why it came. The
person who saw it real or; fanciful was
not quite sure whether he, himself were
awake "or- -asleep. ' The apparition
appeared at night, frightened for
a moment and the . next moment it
was gone.
"This kind of -apparition -has -nothing
more than .what theoeophy described as
a picture or revelation in the 'astral
light. , 'The modus operandi was this :
There was an intense thought in tbe
mind of some person. That thought
was a real energy, a real . force, quite as
rear-as electricity. " It was quite as real
as an .-electric, force that could be sent
through space; '.and it was not without
significance that whenever they got
thought action they got electric action.
Their medical man . would tell them
that when there was thought in con
nection with the brain 'there was elec
trical action in connection, with -the
brain. . When they thought intensely
on the physical plane they set free -electricity,,
and, on the astral . plane.1, they
set up a current through this astral
matter, or f ether. t They thought in
tensely of a person, and the current set
up in astral matter or ether went in the
direction of that person as certainly a
they could send a current along a wire
when they wished - it to reach a distant
town.
This - set . of etherio vibrations, reach
ing the person who was intensified in
their tbonght, affected the person by the
same medium, and, in some cases, ap
peared as an objective reality. In very
many cases only as a mental impression
waa the person thought of. - 4
What were the conditions under which
this unconscious picture was produced?
It was constantly produced where a per
son was dying, and : where the dying
person was exceedingly desirous of see
ing some absent friend or relative.. It
most often happened between those
closely united by ties of blood or of af
fection. . Most of these astral pictures
were between close relatives or close
friends, and the evidence was, to her
mind, indubitable that such occurrence?
did take place, for they might find over
and over again, instances in which the
terson seeing the apparition had made
a note of the day, the hour and the place ;
and it had been subsequently found
that at the precise time a friend bad
passed through the change called death,
and that the news which was thus car
ried by these astral vibrations was news
as true and as real as , though it were
flashed along the electrical wires.
Carrent Topic.
Although long neglected by - the gen
eral government, Alaska is receiving
earnest consideration at the hands of
Washington democrats who would like
to be its governor.
' In spite of -the approach of winter
cholera increases in virulence in Russia.
To prevent its outbreak in this country
next spring great vigilance is necessary.
In the meantime every reasonable pre

The march of electrical science is on
ward. Carriages are now operated npon
the streets of ChicajX) by electricity. The
world will hardly be surprised, .'what
ever applications may hereafter be made
of the latent power of nature.
Tbe search for the north pole exer
cises a strange fascination over the
human mind. Lieutenant Peary, not
satisfied with his late experience, wants
to conduct another expedition over the
ice hummocks of Greenland to that mys
terious point from whence longitude
emerges and whither Latitude vanishes.
Mount Pitt, an extinct volcano in the
Cascades about 60 miles due east of
Grant's pass, is said to be smoking again.
C. A. Woolfolk. who has been in eight
of it recently, says the ' black smoke
shoots straight up in large volumes from
the snow-capped peak, and the sight is
a grand one from one of the summits at
the bead of Bloody run.
' In 1880 a ' friend passing Cheyenne
mailed to Dr. W. D. Baker at Astoria
horned toad. It turned up last month
in Salem, and J. H. Haas, the jeweler,
found it in his dooryard. He has had
his' toadship at the store in a box of
sand ever since.. He wants somebody
who knows how to attend to him, to to 1
him what to feed him. The toad; has
lived on wind for three weeks.'
The dials of the clock on the Oregonian
building are fifteen feet across, this being
the largest clock face in tbe Unittd
States, with one exception. Tbe figures
on the dial are about 20 inches in
length, and the dots which mark the
minutes are about five inches Bquare.
A person who imagined that the dial
would be " large circleB of glass - with the
numerals painted on it, was much sur
prised to find that the nuuieials and
circles surrounding them are cast in
metal, these parts of each dial weighing
several hundred pounds.

Champaign, Til., Nov. 25.-The national
assembly of the Farmers' mutual bene
fit association closed its labors by adopt
ing resolutions of faith in the future
greatness of the rrder, and calling upon
the members to assist in reviving the
work ; demanding free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and an increased circu
lating medium, and recommending tbe
establishment of postal saving banks, in
lieu of the present method of perpetuat
ing national banks ; that congress
should prohibit ' dealings in futures of.
agricultural and mechanical produc-
tions, and tbe adulteration of foods and
medicines; demanding' an equitable
system of a graduated tax on incomes.
The assembly provided for a resubmis
sion of the amendment making women
and boys and girls over sixteen years of
age eligible to iuiibership.
Will Modify the Tariff.
Bloomington, 111., Nov. 26. The
Hon. Owen Scott, congressman for this
district, but defeated for re-election, in
speaking of democratic policies today
saids "The democrats may modify the
McKinley law, but as to repealing ' it,
that is another thing. In the way of
modifications they will put raw mate
rials largely on the free list and make a
general . reduction all along the Hue of
manufactured goods. . They will abolish
the sugar bounty and put sugar on tbe
free list. By this they will destroy the
sugar trust, which is drawing from $25,
000,000 to $30,000,000 annual y from the
peoples' pockets. They will probably
reduce the duty on tin-plate. Nothing
will be done In the way of repealing tl
law. taxing state bank issues. That
question was voted on in the last session
and. was voted down. -I do not think
there will be an extra attempt to de
crease the pension list. Our party is a
friend to the ol.i soldiers."
Anything to Win.
Chicago, Nov. 25. Jockey Euus was
caught stirring up the horse Little Crete
with . an electric battery at the . Boby
track this afternoon as the horses canie
to the post for the third race. The at- -tention
of the judges was attracted by
the unusual activity of the horse when
he came in contact with Eons' heels..
The jockey was searched, and under his
jacket was found a broad belt with cartridge-shaped
attachments, each of which,
contained an electric cell, with wires
running to the spurs. Nothing could be
done .with the jockey under the rules,,
but the judges immediately amended
the regular ones so as to cover the case.
Driven to Their Death.
" Kuw ; Yokk, Nov. 26. The wrong
parties were rescued in an accident par
ticulars of which come. from Constanti
nople specials. ' It seems that an in
ebriated coachinan; who today was driv
ing a carriage in which rode Keman Bey
with two distinguished friends, persisted
in attempting to drive the carriage orer
the drawbridge connecting - Stamboul
and Gala ta, in spite of the - shouted
warnings that the bridge was open. ' The
carriage, fell into tbe water and Keman
Bey and bis friends were drowned.. The
coachman and footman were rescued.
